Investigators said, last Friday, Davis posed as a community service officer to get into the home of Lucy Pat Curl.
That’s when police said he repeatedly hit the 85-year-old woman in the head.
Doctors put Curl in a medically-induced coma. Her family told Channel 9 that she was eventually taken off of life support.
A celebration of life is planned for Feb. 16 at First Baptist Orlando, where Curl was a longtime member.
